What does kW mean?
kW, or kilowatt, is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the rate of energy conversion or transfer with respect to time, equivalent to one thousand watts (W). Power, in a physical sense, is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed.
How to convert kW to HP?
To convert power from kilowatts (kW) to horsepower (HP), multiply the power value in kW by 1.34102. For instance, if an engine has a power output of 75 kW, the equivalent in horsepower would be approximately 100.5765 HP.
How many kW in 1 HP?
There are approximately 0.7457 kW in 1 HP. This means that 1 horsepower is equivalent to 0.7457 kilowatts.
kW to HP Formula
The formula to convert kW to HP is:
HP = kW x 1.34102
For example, if an electric motor has a power output of 50 kW, the equivalent power in horsepower would be:
HP = 50 x 1.34102 = 67.051
